Oliver was about to say something, but Seth took a step forward and blocked him. He offered him a gentle smile but did not move away from the door.
“Mr. Jones…”
Oliver and his men did not know what to do.
Josiah and Fredric had been observing from the side. Then, they saw Oliver go away with his face filled with rage.
After they were confident that Oliver wouldn’t come back again, Josiah wanted to go out, but Fredric stopped him.
“Why did you stop me? I want to see Z!”
“Don’t go.” Fredric said sternly, “Z should be fine with Cordelia and that doctor watching over him.”
Seeing Josiah was still a little restless, Fredric patted his shoulder and chuckled. “If you really want to help Z, go and see what Oliver is up to again.”
Josiah thought for a moment and nodded. After that, they left the boxing arena in a hurry.

When Marcus cracked his eyes open, the first thing he saw was a blanket of white.
The air in the room was filled with the stench of medicine, and then he vaguely heard a woman crying.
His heart skipped a beat, and just when he was about to stand up, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
“Stay put,” Cordelia said, her voice filled with sobs. “You’re badly injured, so you should get some rest.”
Marcus lifted his eyes and looked at her. He did not know for how long he had been unconscious, but it felt like ages since the last time he saw her.
Fortunately, the first person he saw when he woke up was her.
He grabbed her hand and caressed her like how he usually did in the past. She had a tiny face and looked even skinnier now. Her skin was pale, and her eyes were red like two peaches. It made him want to love her even more.
“Honey—”
